I am centered when I am conscious about what affects my body

Sitting at my hair designers – a savvy stylist by the name of Amy Glena - the other day we began discussing conscious hair care.  Naturally, I am attracted to simple, clean scents however are they really what is best for my hair, my health and the environment?  And, why are some products more expensive than others and do they really work?

What I learnt is that like food, the ingredient list is important to read and fillers such as petroleum, waxes, silicones, ammonias, sulphate, carcinogenics, and long names on the bottle with ‘carotene’ attached at the end, are harmful. So what brands get a check mark for being enviro & health conscious – Davines, Kevin Murphy (this line was describes as extraordinary), Phyto, Eufora and Lakmé.  The responsibility is mine – what I put on my body will affect my body.  Also, what I put on my hair will go down the drain.  Ultimately a more conscious product will likely cost you more financially upfront but it will work better than a regular ‘filler’ laced product and you + the enviro benefit in the long run.  How about that!
